From the roads that transport our goods to the broadband that keeps us connected, world-class infrastructure provides a strong foundation for businesses to deliver jobs, growth and prosperity for all. By bringing together users, investors, builders and operators, the CBI is able to pin-point bottlenecks and provide creative solutions to tackle them.

Ensuring that regional devolution delivers better local infrastructure – With increasing levels of devolution to the nations and regions of the UK, the CBI will be working to ensure that the infrastructure agenda is led by business at the national, regional and local levels.

Delivering major infrastructure upgrades – From the delivery of the much-needed £15bn of planned investments in the road network and £38bn of investment in our railways, the CBI is maintaining the pressure on government to deliver infrastructure projects in the pipeline. We ensure the voice of infrastructure users and providers is heard.
